Top of the Props: Marmoush to cut loose, Ndiaye will always pull through and Mac attack on Paq

Omar Marmoush: over 1.5 shots on target for Manchester City vs Crystal Palace - 19/20 – BetMGM

As Erling Haaland continues his spell on the sidelines with injury, Omar Marmoush has been playing as the central striker for Manchester City. 

In his last three games in this role, the Egyptian had had three shots on target in all of them, contributing to his record of 1.75 per 90 for his new club in all competitions.

He’s also scored six times already in England, so should thrive with more goalscoring responsibility on his shoulders.

City’s starting striker has landed this bet in three of the last five head-to-heads. Palace are allowing 3.8 shots on target per game this season and have seen the opposition striker land this bet in each of their last three Premier League games. 

With Marmoush on free-kicks and potentially penalties too, he’ll be keen to stake his claim to challenge Haaland as City’s main goalscorer and he has the recent form to have at least two shots on target. 

Iliman Ndiaye: over 0.5 shots on target for Everton vs Nottingham Forest – 13/8 – BetMGM

Speaking of injuries, Iliman Ndiaye looked set to be David Moyes’ main man at Everton as he was enjoying a spell of three consecutive games on the scoresheet before his spell in the treatment room. 

Last weekend saw his first start since February and he duly scored from one of his three shots against Arsenal to indicate that he’s ready to continue where he left off. 

He’s landed this bet in five of his last six starts for his new boss, only failing to hit the target against Liverpool where he went off 25 minutes in.

Forest have given up 4.32 shots on target per game this season and they also allow the seventh most shots on home soil of any side in the Premier League and so an Everton side playing with freedom will get chances to attack. 

Whilst Ndiaye didn’t have an effort on goal in the reverse fixture, Dwight McNeill did hit the target twice in both head-to-heads last season from the same position and also scored in both games. 

Ndiaye is also on penalties with Calvert-Lewin out injured and so looks like a nice price to continue his excellent form since the turn of the new year. 

Alexis MacAllister: over 1.5 fouls for Liverpool vs West Ham – 4/5 – BetMGM

Alexis MacAllister is no stranger to the sound of the referee’s whistle, averaging 2.19 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season. 

The Argentine midfielder has committed the fourth most fouls of any player in the division and has had at least two in 11 of his last 16 starts. 

He also has a great record in games against Liverpool with foul counts of three, four and two in his three starts against the Hammers. 

One of the key reasons for MacAllister’s data against West Ham is that he is up against one of the league’s most fouled players in Lucas Paqueta. 

The Brazilian draws 2.17 fouls per 90 this season and that average jumps to 2.78 in games against the Reds. 

Adding further to this match-up is the South American rivalry and when opposition central midfielders against West Ham have made 20 fouls in their last four matches, it’s easy to imagine MacAllister continuing this trend.
